Chapter 7 : The Start of Lessons.
**The Next Day**
Sakura rushes into the Hall, sliding on the floor and smoke rising from her feet.
"Ohayo Sakura!" greeted Tomoyo.
"Ohayo minna!" said Sakura.
"Ohayo! You got to the Hall just in time!" said Meilin in mock surprise. Sakura sweatdropped.
"You should know Sakura by now, she gets up late and comes to classes just in time." Said Tomoyo.
"Ohayo Sakura!" said Syaoran softly.
"Ohayo Syaoran!" said Sakura, emerald eyes staring into ember ones.
"Sakura! Sakura!" said Tomoyo, waving her hands in front of Sakura's eyes.
"Uh.Wha-What?" asked Sakura, snapping out of her reverie and glazing at Tomoyo a little glassy eyed.
"Are you okay Sakura?" asked Syaoran with concern.
"Uh yes!" said Sakura, her face turning scarlet. Syaoran's face also began to turn red while the people at the Gryffindor table laughed.
"Hoeee!" said Sakura weakly while her face rapidly returned to its normal color.
"Come on Sakura," said Tomoyo, trying to hid a grin. "You'll have to hurry up and eat Breakfast if you are gonna be in time for classes."
"Hoeee!" said Sakura and she hurriedly piled food onto her plate.
"Sakura," said Tomoyo sweatdropping, "don't you think that that's too much?"
"No! Cos Kero's here to help me eat." Said Sakura as she hurriedly ate some of the food while passing the rest to Kero who was hiding in her robes. Everyone fell over in anime style. Professor McGonagall walked along, passing out class schedules to students. Sakura received her's and look at it.
"Hmm.I have Double Potions with the Slytherins at 8.00am, then Defense Against the Dark Arts at 10.00am, followed by lunch at 12, Transfiguration at 2.00pm, History of Magic at 4.00pm, Charms at 5.00pm and after which Dinner is at 7.00pm." said Sakura, studying her class schedule.
"Hey! I have the same classes as you too." Said Tomoyo. Meilin, Syaoran and Eriol also agreed that they had the same classes. They suddenly heard a commotion a few seats away from them. They turned and saw Ron, Harry and Hermione.
"Oh no! Double Potions with the Slytherins AGAIN?!" Ron was saying.
"They aren't that bad, are they?" asked Sakura curiously.
"They ARE so bad!" moaned Ron.
"Why?" asked Meilin, now interested.
"The Potions teacher, Professor Snape, is the Head of the Slytherin house and generally favors them about the other houses. Plus he hates Gryffindors." Explained Hermione.
Just then, Sakura looked at her watch and exclaimed "Oh no! It's 7.55am! 5 minutes left till Potions class!" Harry, Ron and Hermione quickly looked up, stood up and rushed out of the Hall, pulling their bags with them.
"Huh? Why did they rush off like that?" asked Sakura.
"You don't want to be late for the class. The teacher's very nasty!" said Eriol, rushing them from the table and towards the dungeon where the potion class was held. The reached the classroom with a minute to spare and quickly divided into pairs( Syaoran & Sakura, Tomoyo & Eriol, Meilin went to join Hermione who was beside them). They set their cauldron up and took out their textbooks and waited for the teacher, Professor Snape, to come.
"BOOM!" the door was flung opened and Professor Snape stormed in, his robes billowing out behind him.
"Today, you will be making the Firelance Potion." snapped Professor Snape. "Turn to pg. 140 of your text book and begin preparations. Come to me for the ingredients." He turned and went to his office, returning with several jars and containers. He set them on the table and sat behind the table. One by one, the students got up and went over to him for their ingredients. Syaoran walked over to the table to get the ingredients needed, returning with them and setting them on the table. Sakura and Syaoran began was just beginning to make their potion when there was a flash of blue light and Star and the other students from GUWWM appeared in the room.
"I'm sorry that we are late Professor! We had to go back to Global for our Dueling Class." Explained Star apologetically.
"Thirty points off Gryffindor for interruption of class and lateness and do not, I repeat, DO NOT expect special attention just because you are from GUWWM," said Snape silky.
"We don't Professor!" said the GUWWM students.
"Five points off for answering back." Snapped Snape. "Form pairs and start making the Firelance Potion. Come to me for the ingredients." The GUWWM students quickly formed pairs and settled down to make the potion. Sakura suddenly noticed that Syaoran was glaring at Snape.
"Why are you glaring at him?" Sakura asked.
"I don't like him." Answered Syaoran, still glaring at Snape.
"A lot of us don't like him too, Syaoran." Said Ron, who was behind them.
"What's that you're saying, Mr. Weasley? That's five points off Gryffindor." Said Snape, turning to Ron when there was a hiss and Neville's cauldron melted, the contents of the cauldron pouring out.
"LONGBOTTOM!" Snape thundered, advancing towards Neville. "Don't you know how to make a potion without having to melt your cauldron? Ten points from Gryffindor for melting it AGAIN." At that moment, the bell rang.
Snape turned around and said, "I expect two rolls of parchment on the Firelance Potion's properties, what it does and what the effect on the uses are by the end of the week. You are dismissed." The students hurriedly cleaned up, packed their things and rushed out of the classroom for fear of incurring the wrath of Snape on themselves.
"Come on! Let's get to the DADA classroom. Yukito's teaching it." asked Sakura.
"Yes." said Eriol while he shepherd them to the DADA class. They entered the classroom and sat down before Yukito, walked in, wand in hand (he had the wand when he was with Clow Reed when he went to school here). He walked to the front of the class.
"I am Professor Yukito," began Yukito. "This year, we will be focusing on some advance curses and how to defect them, meaning you will learn what the counter curses for them are. " Yukito told them what he expected of them and what their work load for the year was. Then he asked them to copy down what he was writing on the board.
"You may go! There will be no homework today. Please read up on Chapter 2 of your DADA Textbook." Yukito said when the bell rang. There were whoops of joy when they heard that there was no homework.
"Sakura, please stay back for a while." Sakura nodded and walked to the front of with Syaoran, Meilin, Tomoyo and Eriol. By then, all the students had gone.
"Now is lunch right? You want to pack some of it and go out of the grounds to eat? You can train there after you finished eating." Suggested Yukito. Sakura and the others nodded. Kero who was hiding in Sakura's robes flew out.
"Then I can continue teaching you how to use the cards' powers without the wand." He said happily.
"Kero! Get back into my pocket! You shouldn't be seen flying around!" said Sakura, trying to catch him.
"Let's go to the Great Hall, grab some food and go out to the grounds." Said Sakura and turned to go to the Great Hall after she had caught Kero and stuffed him into her pocket.
"Wait Sakura!" shouted Syaoran after her. "You can't just go there, grab the food off the table and walk out again!"
"Oh yeah! But why can't I?" she asked, puzzled. Everyone fell over in anime style.
"Because the people there will think that you are stealing the food or something." Said Syaoran with a sweatdrop on his after he had stood up.
"Hmm.ok!" said Sakura thoughtfully.
"I'll take you to the kitchen where you can take as much food as you want." Offered Eriol.
"Sure!" the answer came from all around him. Eriol led them to the kitchen where they grabbed some food from a table and went out to the grounds. They quickly finished the food and, seeing that they had around an hour before their next class, began to practice their magic.
"Okay! Sakura! You try and call out the Shot Card without your wand." Said Kero.
"But shouldn't we use Illusion or put up a shield so that no one will see us?" asked Sakura.
"Hmm.Yes." said Eriol thoughtfully. "I'll put up the shield." He said as he created a dorm like shield that was invisible. You could look out and see the people in the dorm but people(witches and wizards too) would only think that there was nothing there.
"Thanks Eriol." Said Sakura gratefully. Sakura concentrated, willing Shot to come out and, feeling the presence of the Star Card nearby, opened her eyes.
"Then, you ask it to fire at the Gaki who will try and defect or dodge it." Said Kero.
"I'm not a Gaki you stuffed animal." Said Syaoran.
"Gaki!"
"Stuffed animal!"
"Gaki!"
"Stuffed animal!"
"Will you two stop already?" exploded Meilin. The two continued bickering. Sakura commandeered Shot to attack them. Kero and Syaoran suddenly found themselves being attacked at by Shot.
"Hey! Why did you do that for?" asked Syaoran, rubbing his back where Shot had hit him.
"Yeah! Why?" said Kero who, luckily, was not hit by Shot.
"Because you are taking up the time to practice and we had to stop you bickering somehow!" shouted Sakura, exasperated.
"OH!" they both exclaimed together, then jumping away and glaring at one another. Sakura sweat dropped.
"Alright you two! Break it up or I'll make you!!" said Sakura grinning evilly, an idea coming into her head.
"No way! He started it first!"
"No he!"
"No he!"
"He!"
"He!"
Sakura silently called the Watery and asked it to drench them. The result was that Syaoran and Kero suddenly found themselves dripping with water.
"SAKURA! WHY DID YOU DO THAT???" Kero and Syaoran yelled at the same time.
"Because you two won't shut up?" Meilin answered for Sakura.
"Who asked you Chinese Gaki?" retorted Kero. This started another glaring contest. There was a sudden "AW!" that punctured the silence the glaring contest had ensued. Sakura turned and saw that Syaoran was jumping up and down, holding a red and blistered hand.
"Sakura! Did you do that?" Syaoran asked. Sakura shook her head. Syaoran looked at the others each in turn and noticed that Eriol was smirking!
"You....You idiot you!! I'm gonna tear you into pieces! I'm gonna...." Syaoran ranted on and on of threats, each more gross than the last. Suddenly, they all heard the bell rang and stopped whatever they were doing. Sakura quickly collected the cards back.
"Oh shit! We're late!" shouted Syaoran, dashing out of the dorm of invisibility. With a wave of Eriol's hand, the dorm of invisibility creased to exist and they ran back to the castle (they had taken out the books for their other lessons before going out to lunch).
Sakura and the others rushed into the Transfiguration classroom where the other Fifth years were already settling down.
"Ah! Made it!" said Syaoran.
"Please take your seats!" said Professor McGonagall who was at the front of the room. Sakura and co. quickly sat down and Professor McGonagall began to explain what they were going to do today.
"You will be changing these boxes into cats." She said, indicating some boxes near her. "Come up and get the boxes." When the students all had their boxes, she asked them to start. The students from GUWWM did it with no difficulty, changing them into different exotic colors. Eriol just waved his wand and muttered something and the box changed into a sleek black cat with a long tail.
"Sugio Eriol!" said Sakura, her eyes big. "How did you do that?"
"Just wave your wand......" Eriol trialed off for Sakura had said "Like this?" and waved her wand, causing the box to transfigure into a beautiful white cat with astonishingly pink eyes.
"You.....were.....supposed to say the words for transfiguring the box." said Professor McGonagall, who was watching them, in shock.
"Sakura! How did you do that?" Tomoyo asked.
"I don't know! I just waved my wand and suddenly the box changed into this kawaii cat." Said Sakura holding up the cat. She saw the looks all the students were giving her.
"What? Did I do anything wrong?" she asked.
"No..You did it correctly.." said Professor McGonagall faintly.
"Really?" asked Sakura who was getting frightened by the looks the students were giving her.
"Yes." Said Professor McGonagall. She turned and gave a look to the other students that plainly said 'Get back to work'. The students turned back and began their tasks although they would sneak a glance at Sakura now and again.
"Sakura! You're really great!" said Tomoyo, her eyes shining with stars.
" Yeah!" said Meilin.
"Eriol, do you think this wand has anything to do with the spell which I cast?" Sakura asked, waving her wand. "I mean the teacher said we needed words for it to work but I just waved the wand and 'Poof' the box changed into a cat."
"Hmm..Maybe..Or maybe it's the core of your wand," said Eriol.
"Hmm..Maybe.." said Sakura, not at all convinced. Eriol turned and began teaching the others the words to change the box into a cat while Sakura played with her cat. When the bell rang, they quickly returned all the kittens to Professor McGonagall and rushed out of the classroom to History of Magic.
"You know," said Sakura as they fled to the History of Magic classroom. "The people in the class are giving me the creeps. They keep staring at me."
"They probably stared at you because they had never seen someone perform a spell without saying the words." Said Eriol knowingly as they went into the classroom.

**Star's POV**
I was still thinking about how that girl who could see my aura when I walked into the Transfiguration classroom.
"If she could see my aura, then she isn't a normal witch. If she isn't a normal witch, then she must be much more powerful. Her aura, an orange color, is quite strong, although not as strong as mine. The people beside her were also very strong, especially the girl with the pink aura who is stronger than me, while the boy with the green aura is weaker than the boy with the blue one. The boy with the blue one is as strong as me. Seems that he knows something..with the knowing smile that he had on his face during the Feast. The girl with the lavender aura sitting next to me was around as strong as the orange-eyed girl. I wonder who they are.." I mused silently. I looked up as the teacher was about to talk. The door opened and the people I was just thinking about rushed into the room.
"Ah! Made it!" the ember-eyed boy said. Behind him followed the others. Professor McGonagall asked them to seat down and explained what we were going to do which was to change the boxes into cats. My friends and I turned the boxes with ease. We kept changing them into different colors and Sina kept change her cat into different colors with triangles on its back.
I watched the dark blue-haired boy with interest as he turned the box into a black cat. He was telling the others to wave their wand when the autumn- haired girl really waved her wand and the box changed into a white cat. She did it without saying the words for the spell!!!
The whole class was just silent, staring at the girl until Professor McGonagall gave them a look and they all returned to their work. When the bell rang, they ran out of the classroom. I think it's probably because the other students in the class were staring at them continuously. I hurried to the History of Magic classroom where the group had already settled down.
The teacher, who was a ghost, walked through the wall and began teaching. Was he ever BORING!!! I almost fell asleep just hearing him drone on and on. Thank goodness the History of Magic teacher at GUWWM is better than him. By the look of the other students in the class, they were almost asleep too. Luckily, the lesson only lasts for an hour and we all went to the Charms classroom where the autumn-haired girl did the spell the teacher was teaching us without the words again. Everyone was too surprise to do anything than to star at her. Finally, the teacher asked us to go back to what they were doing. I really have to find out about them..and also find my cousin too..I haven't seen him since the summer vacation at GUWWM..

A/N: So how do you like it? Can you guess who Star's cousin is? The next chapter will be interesting. Oh yeah! Please R & R! Onigai!
